This inventimi relalcs in an improved ariseinoni, on (-onsn-uciion ofnnichine for explosive cartridges, (for blasting or i in-poses)preferably worked by power,

ncil to render lho apparatusexcecilingly expeditious and to preserve theattendant from illeffoct-s when working compounds containing deleterioussubstances, SiiGil as Ginitrobenzol, the machine being so a: 'anged asto prevent any fumes ilial. may a1 so from the material or dust orparieles thereof coming inio contact "Ff-iii. the operaior whileworking.

the cartridge is formed. The end 0!" the lube F terminates over a smallfunnel -shapo(i hopper G in the bed A, leading in a receiver orreceptacle G, through which a strong; cur rent of air is drawn bya fanorcxhausier, so that any oi the explosive material falling or escapingfrom Lho end of the who i or any fumes escaping therefrom are carrieddown into lhc receiver G, and the particles of material are collectedtherein while any in axes are carried away by the fan and escape. Thisis of very great ad vantage to the workman, and it also avoids orprevents any loss of material.

On the axial line of the screw E and lube "i and in the same horizontalp'laneis mounted a plunger or pressure-resistori i, fitted with a head7:, finished with a cup honilie end ailjoining the screw. The cup h maybe fiileil with a rubber pad or washer h".

Theweight 1V is connected by a cord 1: to the presser ll, holding itagainst the cartridge end, and as the cartridge is filled by the screwthe wrapping or case is drawn oil the exterior of the creel tube Fanilthe presser ll gradually recedes, inc density of the cartridge beingdetermineii by the Weight of the weight W and "the pressure exerted bythe presser ll. A spring: may be employed instead of the Weight 2V.

To the head 7L of the prcsser ll is attached a sliding piece K,whiol1moves to and fro with the resser. At one side it carries a trigger orspring-catch 7;, which engages a stop l on the stool-oil l),a1ul ibalsoengages lhc selling on rod iii to set he machine in motion. The bar orrod ll disengages the machinery when the cartridge is of the properlength and is gradual-ed with a scale in fractions of an-incli from zeroto various 1englhs,aecordingto the capacity of the machine, and upon thebar is placed a movable stop 5,- capable of being set or locked byascrew in any position lhereon, according to the length of cartridgerequired.
